 shrimp-red; feet red " {IV. Goodfellow). 



Total length 467 mm., exposed culmen 35, wing 220, 

 tail 184, tarsus 61. 



The type, which is in the British Museum, was collected 

 by W. Goodfellow at Mindo, western Ecuador, at ati altitude 

 of 6000 ft,, in January 1914, and presented to the National 

 Collection by Mr. E. J. Brook. 



This species is allied to C. goudotii, but is easily distin- 

 guished by its darker coloration and much smaller size. 



An immature male of this species, that was collected at 

 the same time as the type, is darker in the general coloration 

 both above and below, as is usual with the male in this 

 group. "Bill brown; face red; iris broAvn ; feet red"

Although Hellmayr, in his revision of Sj)ix^s types 

 (Abh. math.-phys. Ak. Wiss. Miinchen, xxii. 1906, p. 698), 

 states that Perdix rufina Spix is Tetrao guianensis Gmelin, 

 I am of opinion that it is a good subspecific form. 

 There are four individnals in the British Museum which 

 are almost identical with Spix's figure. Of the specimens 

 referred to, one, a male, was collected on the Capim River 

 by A. R.Wallace ; another, which is a female, was obtained 

 by Natterer at Barra do Rio Negro ; and the other two have 

 no exact locality stated, but I have no doubt that they came
